  1. You already answered it. We traded the guy that might have scored us Dobson. I think we are looking at fishing UFA's and working on development at the moment. If someone is willing to move a young RD for the Dallas pick, great. But righties are a premium. Full developed NHL righties, doubly so.

  2. I like the idea. I could see Dobson popping off in SJ. Islanders hockey crushes offensive players in their system. But like you said it really doesn’t seem like the sharks have what they’re looking for. Ironically I was surprised when the sharks didn’t claim Bovquist off waivers. Could have been a good pickup.

  4. Noah Dobson would be a dream acquisition — but so long as Grier doesn't give up too much. I'm not sure he can do that. If he can do Dobson = Bystedt + Mukhamadullin + DAL 2025 1st + Ferraro/late-1st , then that'd be a win. But I don't see any other package he can put together I'd be okay with.

  6. Zetterlund+Ferraro+Dallas 1st rounder for Dobson. I would much rather have Dobson until he is 33 then going for 29/30 year old in Ekblad/Pionk and giving them 7 years and aged out at 37 years old when the Sharks are in their prime.

  14. I like the idea of Landing Dobson, but the team development side of me thinks the smarter route would be seeing how much Seth Jones from Chicago cost. Chicago has a bunch of quality young Wright D they’re gonna have to trade either Jones or Murray pretty quick here, just to free up space for Levshunov and Rimzel and four years of Seth Jones would be perfect. Draft Verhoeff 31:30 next year and then he has three years to develop into a top 4 D before Jones contract is up.

  16. don't even need to watch this video. SJ doesn't have any pieces to compete with packages other teams would offer for Dobson. And that's IF Dobson is even being shopped. The source of the rumor is not reputable. If it turns out Dobson is being shopped, it would be for an elite 1st line forward. Any potential trade package SJ would have to offer would likely involve someone like Eklund or Smith but I doubt NY would take Smith because he's not there yet. NY wants a player that can contribute at the highest level right now, not in the future.

  17. I agree that outside of Zetterlund, nothing remotely fits what the Islanders want (an elite scorer). But I also think that Lou would severely overvalue Ferraro. So maybe Ferraro + Zetterlund + Dallas’ 1st + prospect could do it? I’d trade that instantly for Dobson, personally
